As soon as we drove the new BMW up the mountains, Tia remarked that I needed new floormats. The ones that come with it were the base fabric ones and not only absorbed lots of mud and dirt but they didn’t provide much containment.

While we were in the mountains, I ordered a set of Weathertech, custom fit mats. I got front, rear, and a cargo mat to put down. I was surprised to see the front and rears come on Thursday, so I asked Delaney to put them in Friday.

I bribed him with a cream soda. He took to the job right away, removing the old mats and vacuuming out the inside.

The mats came in large boxes. The fronts in one, the rear single piece in another.

The mats are custom molded to the shape of your car. They say laser measured and I believe it. They fit well.

Delaney figured out the install to secure the mats to the floor. When I got in at night to go to the gym, they were looking good.

One thing done. I also ordered some wind deflectors and I want to get some roof rails that will let me carry bikes or skis on top, but no hurry there.
